Possible Herniated Disc In Lower Back, Painful, Buzzing Sensation. On Prednisone. What Is Happening?
I am being treated for a possible herneated disc in my lower back, which has caused me pain for the last 4 weeks, ranging anywhere from a 3-9 on the pain scale. My question is, lately I've noticed that right before my pain elevates to the high end of the scale I experience a vibrating/buzzing sensation all over my body....is this something I should make my Orthopedic doctor aware of? This has been happening in the last week, after I saw the doctor. I'm currently on Prednisone & Muscle Relaxers. Thank you!

Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
I have read complete details of your question.
The prolapsed disc does not lead to such vibrating sensation in whole body.
These sensation can be either due to deficiency of vitamin B1,2,6,12 or this can be due to stress,anxiety or a generalized neurological disorder.
If you are stressed about this then you should first decrease your stress level.
For relief from it you may have a preparation like pregabalin or gabapentin.
You should consult to a neurologist for this.
Hope this all will help you.
With best wishes,
